Jumbo persistently trying to get riders away"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Let's be honest now he has been doing a good impression of Cuddles (following with minor digs)
An anti-Contador if you will'Do not compare your bike to others, for always there will be greater and lesser bikes'0 -
Ineos seem to have their riders quite a way back. As I say that they start to move forward.0

Healy trying to get to the break now, not happening though.0

Looked like the peloton were about to sit up for a second then but a few more riders decided they wanted to chance their luck and it strung out again.0
-
Warbasse and Stojnic still staying out front alone but the constant attacking means they only have a few seconds still.0
-
Two riders have bridged to the front two. IPT rider in there obviously, don't know if it's Gee.
Edit - it is!0 -
Has Adam Bythe fallen of the bike? Seems to of been a lot of Contador this morning0

Gee up the road"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Derek Gee in another Groundhog Day moment"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Movistar will be annoying the peloton, every time it settles they try to get someone across and stir it up again.0

He's been fun to watch. Although I kept hearing "Gee struggling " yesterday and thought Thomas was having issues with Roglic 🤷♂️0 -

JV firing riders off the front meaning Ineos have to send some too. I'm not sure it is worth them spending so much energy as it rarely seems to help tactically having a man up front for a GC rider.0

Derek Gee, Rakim, Larry Warbasse plus two others in the break0

Three benefits that I can see. Pick which is most likely to succeed on the road.Pross said:JV firing riders off the front meaning Ineos have to send some too. I'm not sure it is worth them spending so much energy as it rarely seems to help tactically having a man up front for a GC rider.
1. Potential stage win.
2. Rest of the team can take it easy as others are forced to chase.
3. Breakaway rider can ease up and recover to help on the final climb.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -

Yeah, I dont understand this either but it's nervous energy to disrupt I suppose. JV have numbers, but in reality only Kuss has been useful so farPross said:JV firing riders off the front meaning Ineos have to send some too.

Indeed. We haven't really seen big mountain trains in this race. Instead, Vine and then Kuss injected a burst of pace that blew everyone but the favourites away.Pross said:JV firing riders off the front meaning Ineos have to send some too.

Send arensman on the attack is a bold option ....not sure he will persist"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.
